Little green men from Mars did it! Surely it couldn't have been a mistake on your part, right?

I would say yes. It is morally justifiable to defend yourself in this situation(as in any situation really) with resonable force.

What if it was your mother? Would you hit her?

Trying to twist things up a little, Sam? ...LOL!

But my answer to that would be, yes ...if she was hitting me with the intention of causing bodily harm. So, see, single word answers aren't always possible, and to ask them is often a way to make people say things that they've really not thought about.

If your mother were trying to kill you, would you hit her? Answer the question, Sam, with a one-word reply! :)

No, I wouldnt need to do that much to defend myself from a women but if it was man reasonable force would be different.

Some women are huge and powerful, my boy ...you should think before you answer in such a way! Some women could knock your head off with one punch, so just becasue she's a woman is no sign that she's weak.

So if it was your father or brother, you'd hit them?

Maybe your grandfather even? :rolleyes:

That should take care of all the loved ones. :p
 
Anyone comes at me with killing intent, I kill them back. Whoever they are. You know, not much of a mother if she tries to hit you... To reply with opposing force is just fair.

But on what premises? Do I have stun gas? Rope? Is it big, hulking? If she has no intent, just insane, avoid and call cops. Pillows. Grapple and/or locks.

Hell. I have just the same right to live as does anyone else. Anyone threathens me, they can hardly complain if I threathen them back.
